It's a Chastity-Reversed World, But It's Different From What I Imagined? - 97

Chapter 97: Awakening

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Thanks to Tae-san, I felt like I had finally shaken off all the things that had been bothering me. This world had always been one where chastity values were reversed, but I had been thinking that maybe things were different from my initial expectation. 

However, in the end, the world really was as simple as that. The concepts were reversed, and the way girls thought was, too. That was why Yuuna had gotten aroused when we were alone together in that room and had wanted to push me down.

It wasn’t her fault. It was mine. Her behavior wasn’t exactly “normal,” but she had only lost her self-control. From now on, I just had to stop holding myself back and be honest with the women I was interested in. I could afford to be more confident. Yuuna didn’t think I was gross. If anything, I had become a man who could make a girl want to push me down.

“Feh? Yoru-kun?”

When I came down from the rooftop, I ran into Terumi-senpai. She was in her gym clothes, her arms full of equipment. She was probably busy with preparations for the sports festival.

“Terumi-senpai, that looks heavy. Should I give you a hand?”

I asked out of kindness, but Terumi-senpai took a step back.

“N-no! I could never let a man carry my things! Ah—”

She almost fell backward down the stairs. I quickly wrapped an arm around her waist, catching both her and her baggage. She was so light, and through the thin fabric of her gym clothes, I could feel her body heat.

“Are you all right?”

As I held her close, her face ended up pressed against my chest.

“Feh? F-f-f-f-fehhhhhhhhh!!!”

Her face went beet red, and she started flailing in a panic.

“Whoa!”

If she kept struggling near the stairs, it could get dangerous, so I forcefully pushed her up against the wall to stop her.

“Hey! It’s dangerous to move around like that near the stairs!”

With one hand braced against the wall, I grabbed her chin with the other and tilted her face up to scold her.

“F-feh! Y-yes, I’m sorry…”

When I looked straight into her eyes, they began to glisten faintly.

“The luggage… I’ll leave it to you, since helping might make you feel awkward. But please, don’t struggle like that. It’s dangerous.”

I tapped her forehead lightly with my finger and released her.

“Y-yes.”

Terumi-senpai pressed a hand to her forehead and gave a small nod.

“All right. I’m always willing to help, so just say the word when you need it.”

After parting ways with Terumi-senpai, I started walking toward the boys’ cheering squad room. Tae-san still hadn’t come down yet.

“Morning!”

“Whoa—Yoru?!”

When I greeted them and stepped into the room, Seiya’s startled voice rang out.

“Huh? What’s wrong, Seiya?”

“N-no, it’s just… Today, you’re kind of…”

“Morning, Yoru. Huh? Are those black feathers floating around you? Am I hallucinating?”

Youhei sat up from his bed, still half-asleep, rubbing his eyes.

“What’s up with you, Yoru? You’re, uh… I don’t know how to say it… You look kinda sexy today?”

Getting called “sexy” by Hayato, the resident closet pervert, was something else.

“I have no idea what you guys are talking about.”

“Wait, seriously? You don’t notice it? Usually you’ve got that quiet, refined vibe, but today there’s this… I don’t know, dark wings? Like, that mature aura of yours got mixed with seduction or something? I’m not even sure what I’m saying anymore, but you’re just… Wow.”

Seiya tried to explain, but I still didn’t get it.

“It’s like… What do you call it? A playboy? You’ve got the vibe of a mature, harem-having stud who dates a bunch of women.”

An ikemen uncle with a harem party kind of thing, maybe? Well, he wasn’t entirely wrong, so I could sort of understand what Youhei meant. If I could project that kind of aura just by changing my mindset, I wouldn’t mind.

“All right, that’s enough of that. Today’s the final day. Let’s give it everything we’ve got!”

“Of course! I got plenty of rest yesterday since there weren’t any cheering events.”

“Yeah, I slept a lot too.”

“Yoru, you’ve been running around nonstop for three days straight. Are you sure you’re okay?”

None of the three showed any signs of fatigue from yesterday.

“Of course. I’ve cleared my head.”

“Yeah, that much is obvious.”

“Totally obvious.”

“Dangerously obvious.”

The three of them nodded in agreement as I started putting on today’s costume.

“Whoa, today’s outfit… That’s something.”

“No, it actually suits you really well, Yoru.”

“Yeah. Couldn’t be more perfect.”

“I don’t want to wear the same thing.”

Today’s outfit was… A leotard? A tight-fitting costume with a set of wings matching each of our color themes.

“Hayato, it’s the last day. Let’s go out strong.”

Seiya, dressed in a white leotard with white wings, looked just like an angel. Hayato, in a red leotard with crimson wings, gave off a dragon-like image. And me? In a purple leotard with black wings… Wait, why was mine the only one a different color?

“All right, today’s all outdoor events on the field, so we’ll go in these for the morning. Stay sharp, Men’s Cheer Team—let’s go!!!”

“““OSSU!!!”””

When we stepped out of the clubroom, Ichika was waiting to guide us as usual.

“Ichika, I’m counting on you to lead us today too.”

But upon seeing our outfits, she froze in place like she’d turned to stone.

“Ichika? Ichika, are you okay?”

When I put a hand on her shoulder and shook her lightly, she snapped back to consciousness.

Apparently, she’d fainted on her feet.

“Th-th—th—The—”

“The?”

“The 【Evil God】 has descended!!!!!!”

Shouting something incomprehensible, Ichika took off running.

“What should we do?”

“We know where to go, so it’s fine. We can leave security to the bodyguards.”

Seiya, as usual, was completely unfazed.
